One of the benefits of where I work is our *Brain Lounge: a place to sit on a couch, fire up an XBox, unwind and let your developer troubles go away for a few minutes. 

Jake and I fired up some good ol' Halo: Combat Evolved for a couple of duels.  That was the first time I've played Halo CE since, oh, maybe September or so.  I was expecting to be a bit suprised at the difference in the game's feel compared to Halo 2, and it definately took a bit of getting used to.  For a few moments it felt really foreign, but it was very interesting to observe some of the game subtleties (or lack thereof) in comparison to Halo 2.  Less crisp graphics, sloppier movoement, different physics...  and no dual wielding! :)

I lost 15-6 in Slayer on Prisoner (damn those health-reducing falls), and lost 25-21 in Rockets on Prisoner. 

Vintage.

* The “Brain Lounge” isn't officially named yet.  We supposedly had a naming contest for our conference rooms, but it's been weeks and there are no results.  Something's fishy...
